The Star
20 Oct 1820

Died

On Bear creek in Lenoir County on the 3d ult., an African woman named Bess, 
aged 121 years; the greater part of her life was spent in a part of the county 
said to be very unhealthy and what is remarkable, her great grand daughter has 
a grand child 9 or 10 years old. She dwindled away by degrees until her life 
ended apparently for want of strength in her vital organs. Her youngest son is 
now helpless owing to the infinities of age.
